Used Bad Skin Bleaching Cream, Developed Horrible Stretch Marks Behind Knees. Is There Any Surgical Method To Get Back Normal?

Hi, I unfortunately used a very bad skin bleaching cream and developed horrible almost scarred stretch marks behind my knees. I got this about 3 years ago and now they are getting better however you cant tell my skin is scared. Is there any surgical method such as cutting my skin off, in order to get my smooth skin back again?

Thanks you

hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
thank you for your query
i understand your concern about stretch mark.
i think your cream also contain steroid.
it is common side effect if we use it without doctor advise.
there is no single surgical method to get your skin normal .
but dermaroller ,fractional laser will help you to some extent.
it is better to consult dermatologist for proper treatment
do not apply any cream over skin fold for long time your own.
i hope i answered your question

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Obesity can do this / Strong steroids can cause
Surgery may not help - it may leave its on scars...
Lasers may help -see a skin specialist.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
